    How To Stream TV To iPhone & iPad & PC & Others...

    As the title says, in this tutorial ill show you how to stream TV from your box to your mobile device in your home network and outside your home network. At home this should stream pretty well without any issues but away from home you will need a high upload speed and setup a dyndns account so you can access the box remotely.

    Now as i only have an iPhone and iPad as well as a Laptop, I can't show you how to do it on Android but im pretty sure following the same steps should work the same too.

    The app i use is Dreambox Live which is available via the app store, i purchased it on iPhone and managed to get it free on iPad

    iPhone & iPad Dreambox Live App
    Code:
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/dreambox-live/id416450962?mt=8
    First thing first you need to know/setup your HTTP Port which you can find in the OpenWebIf Plugin

    Menu/Plugins/OpenWebIf

    screenshot.jpg

    Make sure "OpenWebInterface is set to "Yes"

    Now you can see my HTTP Port is 01985. Default value is 00080 but i changed mine and you can too if you want

    You then need to go into your routers Default Gateway Page and in my case the Virtual Servers Option on the left hand side menu, because you will need to forward the ports that will enable you to stream externally from your network. For this you need your box's IP Address and the Ports that need forwarding.

    The IP Address of my box is 192.168.2.x
    The Ports I am going to forward are;
    HTTP Port: 1985
    Streaming Port: 8001 (Default)

    Assign these like the screenie below

    screenshotrouter.jpg

    The other ports i have forwarded (21 and 23) are FTP Port and Telnet port so i can get into the box remotely too

    Once you have assigned the ports to your box's IP address and router is back on and working you then need to setup a dynds account if you want to stream outside of your home network.
    To do this follow my tutorial on Setting up Inadyn & Dyndns Account

    Code:
    http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?9755-How-to-Setup-Inadyn-ViX
    Now you can either use your box's IP address if you just want to use it at home which in my case if 192.168.2.x or my Dyndns account which is xxxxxxx.dyndns.org (from my tutorial above)

    Download and Install the Dreambox Live App onto your iPad or iPhone

    Open it and it should take you to the Basic Setup Wizard like below

    screenshotdreamboxsetup.jpg

    Now Fill in the page with your details that you have from above. Mine is below

    screenshotdreamboxconfig.jpg

    I have set this up so i can stream outside my house so i have used my dyndns account, otherwise type in the IP address to your box 192.168.2.x
    Leave all the other settings the same only putting in your http port and username and password.

    Once you have saved and connected click on the TV Icon in top left to bring up your Bouquet List

    screenshotbouquet.jpg

    Then pick your category

    screenshotentertainment.jpg

    Then pick the channel you want to view, im going to view BBC 1

    screenshotbbc.jpg

    And thats it, you have successfully setup streaming.
    Remember to stream outside your house this way you need a fairly high upload speed, mine is roughly 5-6mb and mine streams really good with the odd glitch but i aint got no complaints.

    Any questions please dont hesitate to ask. If you like it please click Thanks



    UPDATE: ADDED NEW OPENWEBIF INSTEAD OF THE OLD WEBINTERFACE

    This works quite well on 3g and really well if u connected to wifi, i was streamin this in brother in laws house in stevenage and it worked perfect, i didnt even get a glitch for about 30mins then the odd glitch then streams perfect. Able to watch my motorised at home on my ipad and iphone anywhere.

    The only thing ive noticed is this streaming external to your home network, for em the Xtrend ET9000 works better than the Vu+ Duo i had, i dont know whether its hardware or better streaming software but thats wha ive noticed

    upgraded my broadband to 100mb which gave me a 10mb upload, the SD streaming is now flawless on someones 10mb wifi, havent had a chance to try on 3g yet but will get round to it. the HD is still a bit blotchy in places, not sure why but oh well, on an iphone and ipad everything looks HD anyway

    just got round to trying the stream on my iphone 4 via 3g and with a minimum of 3 bars on signal, i was able to watch sky sports news for about 2 minutes with probably 4-5 glitches for a second but nothing that will stop you from streaming it as its brilliant, i think the reason it glitches could be due to the fact my signal was dropping 3 to 2 bars and back up. i guess with a full signal this would stream pretty perfect. will try again when i get full bars on 3g and get back
